Yesterday I went to visit my favorite fashion designer
Deborah Villanueva. I had some canvas
prints to deliver and I couldn’t wait to see Deborah’s reaction. They were four 24x36 canvas prints of my
favorite images from four different shoots we did that featured original dress
designs by Deborah Villanueva. I was so
excited to see Deborah’s reaction since I knew how much I LOVED how the
canvases had turned out. When I was
putting them together with my husband Brenton---all I could think was---Why
haven’t I put something together this awesome for our place???

Deborah did not disappoint on having an over-the-top
reaction to the arrival of the canvas prints.
She couldn’t help but sit and stare at them and be in such awe over the
work that the two of us have done in little over a year. It really is impressive to see our creations
in final form---for me the canvas prints—and for Deborah some of the dresses
are still on display in her studio. How
fantastic will it be to have the dress on display and then to be able to
show---this is how it photographs! I
know that the brides that go to her studio will be in heaven with all of he
possibilities for their perfect dream wedding dress.

I noticed that Deborah was also working on a new design and
I couldn’t help but snap a few pictures of it.
It was a beautiful bodice of a dress with hand crafted roses and sparkly
beadwork. It used different warm beige
shades of silk and had a wonderful layer that crisscrossed across the middle to
really accentuate the waist. I
absolutely loved it. Deborah also
debated adding a single strap of roses that I also thought was a brilliant
idea.

As Deborah contemplated the strap of roses she brought out a
slew of petticoats that she has future plans for. That was when Lilly (Deborah’s daughter)
joined the fun. It was time for Super
Girly Frilly Fun Time. We had an
impromptu shoot with ponytails, petticoats, and mother daughter fun time. These kinds of shoots sometimes end up being
the best. No stress of planning, just
spontaneous fun.

Plans are in the works for our next shoot.We are thinking Prom!Can’t wait!
